Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings introduces aircraft colour visualiser tool

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings has introduced the Aircraft Colour Visualiser, a web-based tool that enables plane owners, paint shops, aircraft designers, OEMs, and aviation enthusiasts to digitally experience color combinations on a variety of aircraft types.

The interactive desktop site allows users to choose from six aircraft models – ranging from a kit aircraft to a heavy jet – to customise with any color in the Sherwin-Williams aircraft colour library and instantly view on screen. The pre-designed schemes can integrate one base colour and up to three accents, in both solids and metallics.

The new visualiser was not created to replace professional aircraft scheme designers; on the contrary, it was created to enhance the colour selection experience for designers and plane owners. Rather than selecting colors individually with a fandeck or painted panels, customers can digitally view Sherwin-Williams colours and incorporate them into actual aircraft schemes immediately.

“Offering our customers this highly specialised online tool reflects our commitment to innovation beyond paint and coatings,” said Julie Voisin, Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings Global Marketing Manager. “The Aircraft Color Visualiser tool will not only serve as inspiration for customers and designers, but it will also ease the colour selection process for them. We’re excited to see how customers will utilise the full breadth of our colour palette in their unique creations.”

The tool features two unique designs for each aircraft, allowing the user to switch between them and even spin the aircraft to see the colors from a variety of angles. The Aircraft Colour Visualiser allows users to print, save and share their finished designs. Users can also be referred to a professional aircraft designer to fulfill their vision on their specific aircraft.
